This is a position paper about 'Gewoon Gaaf' ['Just Smooth'], a paradigmatic change in the management of caries in children with a special focus onprevention. Caries is now considered a disease related to behaviour. Behavioural changes are essential in the prevention of caries because only patient's self care can keep caries under control. It is the task of the oral care provider to alert parents and child to their own influence on the development of caries and particularly on how to keep this process under control. Evaluations have revealed that the traditional form of preventive care has hardly improvedoral health. In contrast, various studies have shown the good results of the 'Gewoon Gaaf' approach. Moreover it fits in well with the public debate, which puts more and more attention on efficiency and transparency in the care. |
